Charles W. Ellots, the heads of various
phases of Japanese life and thought, gath
ered Into one party to come to the United
States with a double purpose in view.
This, or rather these purposes they have:
First to acquire ideas and information by
mingling closely with the leaders of Ameri
can activity and thought, and second to
cement further the bonds of friendship be
tween the United States and their own
Nippon so that both countries shall work
in harmony to the commercial and lntellec
tual advantage of botii.
They are neither trade boosters as the
term Is known here nor mere seekers after
information. Their pur;xse is consider
ably higher than cither of these.
Fitting; Reception Planned.
Hence the party includes men of the very
highest rank In Japan, the Comemrclal
club, whose guests they will be, is planning
a reception fitting for such distinguished
Visitors.
The party will be here only, one day. It
comes to Omaha near the end of Its trip and
the visitors will probably ba wearying of
too much sightseeing by the time they
arrive. Consequently the committee in
charge has decided to give them such en
tertainment as shall not only provide in
formation which they have not been able
to secure elsewhere, but to make the en
tertainment of such variety that it will
not be too hard a strain on their tired
nerves.
They will be taken to the Union Pacific
shops and the McKeen motor works and
then to the water works at Florence,
where they will study the method of set
tling muddy river water without arti
ficial means. Luncheon will probably be
served to them in Florence. In the after
noon they will be given an automobile ride
with visits to such points as they may
care to see.
The entertainment will close in the even
ing with a banquet at which former Sena
tor Charles F. Manderson will preside.
W. J. Bryan and F. K. Haller offer toasts,
with responses by Baron Elichl Shlbusawa,
chairman of the commission and Baron
Nalbu Kanda, professor In the Peers school
of Toklo.

committee will entertain the visitors and

Other subcommittees to have charge of de
tails of the entertainment will also be
named.
Omaha society women will also be an tin
portant factor in the entertainment of the
party. Six Japanese women, wives and
relatives of the men are with the party and
a committee of society women will be
named to entertain them while the men
scurry about the city taking In the sights.
The women, more conservative than their

extensive bankers are also in the party.
Industry and commerce are a fairly rep
resented as finance. The party Includes
owners and managers of electric and water
power plants, steamship lines, standard and
electric railways, ship building, manufac
turing of silk and cotton fabrics, export
ing and importing and stock brokerage.
On the commission are some of the most
noted educators, authors and newspaper
writers of Japan. The professions of law
and medicine are also represented.
One of the most Interesting members of
the commission is its head, Baron Elichl
Shlbusawa, who has be-n called the J.
Pierpont Morgan of Japan. But he Is
more than the head of the biggest banking
bouse in the empire. He is also a states
man of wide sympathies and experience.
His influence in modernlilng Japan has
been greater, probably than that of any
other man. The work of his life has been
to raise the standards and the status of the
men engaged in business and commerce
in Japan.
Director la Seventy Companies.
He established .the first bank in Japan
under the capital stock system In 1873 and
has been connected with numerous manu
facturing and Industrial concerns. At one
time he was director of seventy companies.
But of late, owing to his advanced age TO
years old he is divesting himself of some
of these business responsibilities. In 3plte
of his age he has a vigorous Intellect and
his addresses are full of keen and vigorous
thought. He does not speak English, but
his speeches are translated as he talk.
He is a sharp observer of what goes oa
around him. Like all of his party he is
polite almost to a fault, but be is devoid
of affectation and la very democratic He
speaks French fluently,
Japanese education is represented by
Baron Kanda, one of the most prominent
educators in the country. He is a grad
uate of Amherst college and has traveled
extensively and speaks English fluently.
He is called on frequently to speak and
his addresses are full of wit and elo
quence. One of the largest shipbuilders In Japan
Is Kojlro Matsukata, a graduate In law
of Yale university. He has extensivehlp-
yards in Kobe and ha has recently turned
Chamber of Commerce is a member of
the house of peers and one of the most ex
tensive exporters and importers In Japan.
He is at the head of many large enter
prises, such as banks, water companies,
etc., as well as organizations of a publics
and beneffclal nature. Many eminent
Americans, among them General Grant
and President Taft, have been guests at
his beautiful home.
Z. Horlkoshl Is a silk manufacturer, with
houses in Toklo, New York, London and
Paris.
Suyeo Iwaya Is a noted writer, especially
of children's stories, his writings number
ing many volumes. He Is author of a his
tory of the Japanese-Russian war, and also
writes for the dally press and for periodicals.
Several newspaper men are in the party,
among them Motosada Zumoto, editor and
publisher of the Japan Times in Toklo, the
only dally paper in Japan published in
English. It has an extensive circulation
through the orient.
Can't Tire Them Out.
One of the characteristics of the members
of the party that has struck easterners
with force Is their ability to recuperate
after a hard day spent In sight-seeing.
While in New York they were on 'the go
from 8:30 In the morning until midnight
every day, yet each morning they appeared
fresh, and as energetic aa ever, ready for
the arduoua task before them.
Another characteristic that has caused
extended comment Is the fact that even
those of the party who are primarily finan
cial and commercial men In Japan take a
high ethical stand In regard to finance and
commerce. The ethical side of business ap
parently appeals to them stronger than
does pure galnfulness. Baron Shlbusawa In
an address before New York men Interested
In religious and philanthropic undertakings
asserted that the great growth of the Japa
nese people, after all. Is along ethical and
educational lines. He emphasised the state
ment that under all commercial or financial
transactions there must be an ethical foun
dation and that the highest success in com
mercial life could be based only on actions
consistent with righteous living and that no
permanent success could come unless It was
so based. Following this he took the some
what remarkable stand that he was sure
out two large steamships for the American ; the commercial and educational life of any
on the coast to Japan. The trip was taken
on invitation of the five principal cities of
Japan Toklo, Yokat-oina, Osaka, Kioto and
Kobe. The Americans were lavishly enter
tained and the Invitation for a return visit
by the Japanese representatives followed.
The Associated Chambers of Commerce of
the Pacific coast has six representatives on
the tour.
Government Represented.
Recognition of the Importance of the visit
of the Japanese is made by the government
by the appointment of three representa
tives to go with the party. They are
Roger S. Green of the State department,
Prof. John Paul Goode of the University of
Chicago and Jackson S. Elliott of Wash
ington, D. C, a representative of the As
sociated Press, representing the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, Prof.
Stephen W. Oilman of the University of
Wisconsin represents Minneapolis, St Paul,
Milwaukee and Duluth; F. W. Rosenberger
of the city of Buffalo represents north
western New York, W. H. Mansa of the
Chicago Association of Commerce repre
sents the city of Chicago, Frank R. Pack-
haxn represents Cincinnati, etc.; Governor
D. II. Francis represents 8t. Louis and
Kansas City and J. M. Guild, commis
sioner of the Commercial club of Omaha,
represents Omaha. , ,
The object of th tour ia twofold, first
to increase and extend trade relations and
aecond to Improve the personal acquaint-
ance and friendly relations between the
representative men of the two nations.
Baron Explains Trip.
Baron Shlbusawa, before leaving Japan,
made a statement of the reasons for the
trip, of which the following Is an extract:
"A glance at the fifty-five years past
history of Japan brings before us most
vividly the value of the gentle yet firm
guidance of America. Commodore Perry,
with four men-of-war, arrived at Japan
and pressed her to open the country with
strong determination and seal. The
Rakufu the then existing government ac
cepted the good will of America and gave
consent to open Yokohama and Kobe for
trading purposes. Mr. Harris, the Amer
ican minister to Japan, protected the
Bakufu so that it would not take false
steps l.i foreign diplomatic relations. He
acted as a kind instructor, so aa to shut
out unreasonable claims likely to be made
by other powers, and we are greatly in
debted to America In these respects.
"Ever since the friendly relations between
Japan and America have been growing
thicker and closer, so that America re
turned to us the compensation paid by
Japan regarding the Shlmo-no-sekl affairs.
Last year we invited American
business men to visit Japan, and by the
special call of the American squadron, the
friendly relation between the two countries
and the Japan-American tradal relatldns
vera further cemented. Japan, which was
guided and Instructed by America, must
stand In friendly relations with America,
which, ever since the Spanish was, has
abandoned the Monroe doctrine and
adopted the imperialistic spirit, so that
America has annexed the Philippine
America, it Is argued by some, will bring
America, it Is argued by some, will bring
about a collision with Japan.
"Such is altogether an ungrounded fear.
There is absolutely no reason why Japan
should direct its warlike weapon towards
America, because she is ranked among the
first-class nations of the world. The work
In China must also be based upon a thor
ough understanding, and all the elements
of vague suspicion must be done away
with. We visit America not simply as rep
resentative business men, but of the entire
population of Japan, so an as to produce
a perfect understanding between Japan and
America."

The tour of these distinguished Japanese

Dos; Abhors Publicity.
When Philip Martin of Montclatr, N.
asked hla wife what he had better
about a stray collie dog which took refuge
with the couple three days ago, she ad
vised him to advertise the animal to com
ply with the law. The dog hung his head
and whined dismally, then crept up to the
man and licked his hand, as If to say.
"Please don't." When the man started foi
the door the collie laid down against It, so
It wouldn't open. Mrs. Martin petted and
coaxed it, but It wouldn't budge, and
finally Martin, who la kind-hearted and
really liked the dog, though he felt he had
no tight to harbor It, slipped out another
door. In an hour he returned.
"Well, did you put the 'ad' in the paper?"
asked his wife.
"Yes," said Martin. With that the dog
made a rut.h for the open door and disap
peared In the direction of Bloomfleld. Mar
tin went after It, but It was out of sight
before be reached the corner. The Martins
are wondering if the dog has committed
suicide. When It came to the Martins 11
looked aa If it hid been maltreated.
The peace of evening hung over the front
piazza. Three glowing cigar end; In one
corner had been motionless for some time
when one of them suddenly moved.
"On such nights as this when I was a
boy," said a voice, "my brother and I used
to drop down upon the shed roof and then
to the greund long after we were supposed
to be asleep. We never did much of any
thing after we escaped, but it was such
fun expecting father to catch us at it,
and one night he did."
We all know what happened then," in
terrupted a second voice. "We have all
been there. I did not have a brother to
help me out in my Joy escapades, but I
bad a alster, and she did very well. In
fact she used to plan most of the adven
tures and I did tho carrying out.
"One day we started off in a small boat
to find the Spanish treasure we had de
cided must be burled on an Island in the
river. We took a garden hoe and a toy
spade for utensils and a bag of cookies
and an applo fur provisions.
"We were not found until the next day,
but every one was so glad to see us that
we escaped punishment that time. It was
some weeks, however, before we had a
chance to go off on an excursion by our
selves again."
"Youngsters haven't any sand at all
nowadays," began a third voice. "Why,
those two boys of mine are perfect ex
amples of good behavior. They get A in
deportment right along at school, and
In all their class work, too, and they belong
to the Y. M. C. A. and make their mother
no trouble at all.
"When I was a lad do you think I would
have been so meek? Not much.
l p Early to See Circus.
"I remember that one night, about such
a one aa this, Jim and I got up early to
go to see the circus come In. It was so
early that It was a little before midnight,
I think, and as the circus was not due
until S o'clock we put In the time mean
while riding Guy Week's Shetland poines
all over town. Guy always was stingy
with those ponies and we knew the barn
was never locked.
"Catch my boys doing a thing like that!
They haven't spunk enough."
No one answered the third voice. Once
more the witchery of the night, assisted
by the mogto Influence of awakened mem
ories, overcame all desire for sociability '
anl quiet settled again upon the group.
One by one the glowing cigar ends went
out.
Then softly a window opened on the roof
over the piazza; a muffled object rolled
down and struck the sod with a soft thud.
Immediately a small pair of legs dangled
before the astonished view of the owners
of the voices.
"Hurry up, Sam," whispered a hlgn
pitched voice huskily. "The old gent isn't
In the library, and I don't know where he
Is. I've got the lunch and the plug and
the new number. All you've got to bring
Is the slicker and the keys to the locker.

ought to go further tonight than we've
gone any night this week. Get a move '
But Just then two hands belonging' to
the owner of the third voice grasped the
two dangling ankles.
"James Van Kllllngford Waters, vou and
your brother go upstairs to bed. And yo'j
needn't leave your room all day tomorrow.
I myself shall see that you do not. Do you
understand?"
After the legs had scrambled upward
again and the window overhead had been
noiselessly lowered the first voice spoke
once more:
"Why didn't you let them alone. Waters?
They would never have known that you
knew."
The third voice did nut reply at once.
When It did it said:
"I wonder why in thunder I didn't!"
